Ollie Fateful

Journaling:
Scene: An ordinary family dinner, sometime in December, 1984. A manger scene is set up near the table. HEATHER, 3, sits in her red booster seat; MATTHEW, 10 months, is in his green high chair.

HEATHER: Mom, who is Ollie Fateful?
MOM: I don’t know who he is. Where did you hear about him?
HEATHER: You know, in that song. (she sings) Oh, come, Ollie Fateful.
MOM and DAD laugh.
MOM: So who do you think he is?
HEATHER: (Climbs from her chair, runs to the manger scene, and picks up the figure of the black wiseman.) Here he is! Here is Ollie Fateful!

How wonderful it is that you not only remember "Ollie Fateful", but have this beautiful photograph to go with this special little memory!

I love the way your page looks with the deep red background and the great title too. The green frame and green trees and scalloped edge just all add up to one delightful layout for Christmas this year ( for 1984 too )! Thanks so much for sharing this with us . . . I'll have a big smile on my face the next time I hear or sing "Oh, Come All Ye Faithful".

And, be sure to tell your daughter how much your friends are enjoying her sweet story.
